Evidence snapshot for Myanmar
Myanmar's development landscape has been marked by significant initiatives across digital literacy, environmental restoration, and entrepreneurship, followed by severe disruption after the February 2021 military coup. Beyond Access reached 63,000+ library visitors across 100+ libraries and the Ayeyarwady Delta mangrove project restored 2,065 hectares while benefiting 11,000 people, while Phandeeyar's accelerator invested US$25,000 per startup across three cohorts through 2019. However, the coup's impact has been severe: Phandeeyar's revenue fell approximately 76% in the coup year, activity was disrupted in the digital literacy programme, and women's representation in governing structures collapsed from 15–17% in the November 2020 elected parliament to 6% in the military's 16-member ruling council.
